It was 2007. I was on the Brobdingnagian Bards Tour of Ireland. Our bus stopped in Blarney, Ireland so our travelers could shop. Andrew McKee and I weren’t much of shoppers. Instead, we found an open piece of grass and started playing music. First our fans gathered to listen. Then people from other tour buses sat […]

Help Kilted Kings Top the Charts
This summer, I did a big push for my new Steampunk CD, Pirates vs Dragons, over on CD Baby. It was a huge hit. The album climbed to #9 on the largest indie music site in the world. I think I sold 112 copies of the album on CD Baby. It stayed at the top […]
Paying With Gold : Hunting Dragons
Day 77: Today I saw sights I recognized. My heart rose at the vision of the green hills of Alabama. I have never seen anything so beautiful in my life…well, except for Gwen playing with Kenzie in the backyard. The Lady Jean is such a lovely little ship. The helmsman steered her around, and came to […]
Save the Dragons Foundation : Hunting Dragons
Day 76: Now that I have finally finished the album and delivered it to Murphy, he’s promised to take me home, but it’s taking longer than I was hoping it would. So I’ve been using the time to do some thinking. Something good did come out of this whole affair, after all. I found out something […]

Dragons Are Real : Hunting Dragons
Day 75: It took a few days to get the loot sorted out, and everything squared away on whatever world we were currently. Gus and Jenny seemed to be jockeying for Murphy’s right hand “man.” I didn’t want to take sides, but I’d know Gus a bit longer. Plus, he was the one who had kidnapped […]

The Lair : Hunting Dragons
Day 69: Everyone was fairly hung over this morning, but that didn’t stop us shipping out at the crack of dawn. Gus was back, like he’d never been gone. I tried to talk to him, but the dragon was making everyone crazy, and no one had time for anything but work. The hunt was absolutely terrifying. […]

Take It In Stride : Hunting Dragons
Day 68: I can’t believe I’ve been captured by pirates for more than two months. It feels even longer. I wonder if time is passing the same way at home. There’s a possibility that it isn’t. Maybe Gwen doesn’t even know that I’ve left…or at least thinks I’m running errands or something. That would be awesome! […]
